I had a relative who started giving people ball point pens when her dementia got really bad, don't know what made me think of that just now

A trans person drawing on a statue with chalk got comment from the Home Secretary and coverage on TV and in all the main papers.

A female Green MP being harassed and abused in the street by transphobes gets nothing...

My money is on George Osborne.

Fuck….

I would like to vote for a party that said: "we keep being buffeted by forces outside our control. This is because we've allowed our capabilities to degrade. We're going to build them up again so some moron can't just bankrupt us with a stupid idea. It will take a while but here's the plan".

I don’t even know how to describe this. Honorable generals followed by kegsbreath, couchfukker, and trumpus

Okay, who sent us this photo titled “The Devolution of Man”??

This is why we don’t intermingle with you outside species, the risks are too great

Black text on white background reading: If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing.

Happy international Women’s Day to all the queens on this app 🫶🏼

Fox News using the body of a service member who sacrificed his life for his country to scrub the image of an incoherent narcissist who lied to avoid his own service. Disgraceful.

Sunday, 8th March 2026 International Women’s Day Today, I’m at the Garden Museum learning how to properly fold and cook dumplings under the tuition of the inimitable chef, Yvonne Poon. Should be fun and I get to eat some tofu, shiitake mushrooms and veg dumplings at the end. Recently, I was intrigued by this message I saw, which read ‘khud khana garam karlo’… Read More »

Today & in the future, I need all us men to do better. A lot, lot, LOT better. That's the message.

Because...

👏Countries with more female leaders have less inequality. (WEF)

👏Countries with more women in parliament have lower levels of corruption. (European Journal of Political Research)

👏Female participation in parliament has a positive effect on the economy. (Frontiers in Political Science)

Love is in the air at Edinburgh zoo. Pebbling marks the start of the breeding season for Gentoo penguins.

Kids at Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity painted pebbles for the penguins to choose from and present to their mates.

JP’s collaboration Women’s Murder Club has been one of the worst things I have had the misfortune to read (and reread bcs I’d forgotten it entirely). Chapters so short, they made no sense, other than to re-repeat points. No flow. No logic.

Well this is just adorable

Yes I was going to say this!

Just got off the phone after Sec of State of Energy, Ed Milliband, called to discuss in detail the problems people are facing with home energy bills & heating oil. Here's what I fed through. YOUR feedback would be useful...

Any #foodsky recommendations for the Ambleside area ?
We’re booked in at Henrock at our hotel the first night , Mathildes is firmly on my breakfast/lunch hit list .

Totally normal stuff

Also crutches and bandages for my inevitable sprained ankle on that floor.

This makes me think a Fry’s chocolate cream mini egg would be awesome.

I say, go for it! We all need the joy.
